Set Description
Synopsis: This is a complete set of 44 books with a minimum grade of 9.2. The set consist of 11 9.8s, 28 9.6s, 4 9.4s and a single 9.2. 27 of our books are highest graded examples with four single highest graded.
Background: JIM was one of my favorites as a little kid, I really liked those Marvel panels in the top left-hand corner with the blond Thor-hey, I was a kid LOL. It is, however, one of the toughest titles that we collect in which to assemble a high grade set. Highlights of this set are four single highest graded issues, #91, #116, #117 and #118. Other early highest graded issues include #84, #85, #88, #89 and #90. We have been looking for years for upgrades of #95, #97 and #102. We would also ideally like to obtain a #83 9.4, but the cost is pretty much prohibitive.
2021 Update: One mission accomplished, as we finally found a #102 9.6. Now if we could just find a 9.6 or 9.8 #95 and #97. Once again, this is a set where the #1 registry set has already been sold, but many buyers never registered their books leaving this set 43 points out of the top spot, which it occupied until the registry value of a #83 9.4 was pushed up in May 2021. Oh well....
